What is a Facebook Ads test?

The Facebook Ads test is an assessment that gauges a candidate's skill level in creating and managing advertising campaigns on Facebook.

The test covers setting up campaigns, audience targeting, tracking, performance monitoring, and making necessary adjustments.

Facebook advertising is now a staple means of marketing promotion, so competency in running successful campaigns is a key skill for advertising, marketing, and communications roles.

As such, the Facebook Ads test is an invaluable screening tool. It can be effectively employed at the beginning of the recruitment process to judge if candidates can use Facebook tools to achieve a return on advertising spend.

About the Facebook Ads Test

Facebook, as the world's largest social network, is an important way to reach and interact with your customer base, increase awareness of your company or brand, and ultimately turn engagement into sales.

Facebook's nearly 3 billion monthly active users present a large opportunity for communicating your value proposition and generating leads if your presence is managed insightfully.

Using a Facebook Ads test as part of the recruitment process can ensure that you hire candidates with the right expertise to deliver tangible results for your business.

Why should you use a Facebook Ads test for recruiting?

When looking to hire advertising, marketing, sales, or communications staff – whether professional hires or entry-level candidates – companies want to know that shortlisted prospects can deliver a return on advertising investment through increased reach, interaction, and engagement.

A candidate may state Facebook advertising as a competency on their resume, but it is difficult to know the level of proficiency that equates to in practice.

Generally, the more experience a candidate has with Facebook ad campaigns, the higher their level of competency. The screening process should also take into consideration that a candidate might not have had the opportunity to display their potential in past roles.

A Facebook Ads test directly assesses a candidate's ability to achieve results through effective Facebook advertising campaigns, so you can be sure that your hire has the skills needed to excel in the role.

Shortlisting using targeted skills testing is an effective way of streamlining a large talent pool and ensuring the best candidates proceed in the recruitment process. It is also an objective method, assessing and shortlisting whilst avoiding unconscious bias.

A Facebook Ads test may be a useful prerequisite for roles such as:

  • Marketing Manager
  • Advertising and Promotions Manager
  • Sales Manager
  • Communications Manager
  • Marketing Strategist
  • Advertising Sales Agent
  • Digital Marketer
  • Advertising Specialist

Having an advertising presence on Facebook-owned social media platforms is the key to increasing sales for many companies. To be successful, however, this presence needs to be considered and targeted, communicating your brand messages and values effectively.

Using a Facebook Ads test in your recruitment process means you can be confident that your new talent is up to the task.

How our test assesses Facebook Ads

In Neuroworx's Facebook Ads test, candidates will need to answer a range of questions covering a varying degree of difficulty. Someone who is proficient in Facebook Ads should be able to perform the following tasks which this test helps evaluate:

  • Analytics and tracking
  • Creating campaigns with a mobile-first approach
  • Monitoring performance
  • Campaign reports
  • Measuring ROI
  • Facebook attribution & attribution models across other channels
  • Understanding Facebook Ad policies.

The test questions are designed to indicate how well a candidate knows and understands how to use Facebook Ads across a broad spectrum of tasks. All questions are multiple-choice: a format familiar to most candidates that allows for immediate, objective scoring.

The response options aside from the correct answer, called distractors, are common mistakes or misconceptions, which enhance the question's ability to accurately measure a candidate's proficiency.

During the development process, this test was rigorously analysed to maximise reliability and validity in line with industry best practices. It was written, examined and revised by Facebook Ads specialists and psychometric experts, and field-tested with a representative sample of job applicants.

In other words, this test empirically demonstrates consistency and measures Facebook Ads proficiency as intended. Raw scores are provided, which can be compared across candidates to see how they perform relative to each other.

Regarding the candidates' experience, this test has been reviewed by a panel of individuals representing diverse backgrounds to check for any sensitivity, fairness, face validity and accessibility issues. This ensures each candidate has a fair chance of demonstrating their Facebook Ads proficiency and feels the test is reasonable.

This test is also monitored on an ongoing basis to optimise performance and is analysed regularly for fairness issues.
